THE INTERROGATIVE OR INTELLECTUAL SYSTENI OF EDUCATION, By Questions and Exercises without Answers. T is now above Twenty Years since the Pro prietor of the under-mentioned Works submitted to Conductors of Schools the first specimens of that series of im proved Elementary Books which he had planned for the pur pose of facilitating the Instruction of Youth, and rendering the acquirement of Knowledge at once pleasant, rapid, and certain. This System has since been known to the world under the denomination of the Interrogative System; and, as opposed to some popular mechanical Systems, its Inventor has also de fined it, by way of eminence, the Thinking or Intellectual System—from the obligation to Think, or mentally work on the subject of study, which it imposes on the pupil ; and from the general improvemept of the Intellectual Faculties, of which habitual mental exercise is a necessary consequence. This System, in the popular works published under th e names ofGoldsmitb, Blair, Barrow, Adair, &e. has been in- traduce(' ipto pearly every School of character in the British Empire, and has met with a degree of approbation far ex cee.ding the original expectations of its author. The princi ple of teaching by Questions without Answers, Nqich re quires that the pupil should furnish.auswers to qtlestions, often complicated, from the scattered data of his book, de manded various preparations on the part of the tutor; but the publication of the Tutor's Key,• containing answers to above six thousand questions, has removed every difficulty in practice. Among the competitors of the Interrogative System, the respected name of Pestalozzi has appeared; hut it ought to be known that his System is precisely that to which the public attention is now invited, but which was taught in England many years before the name of Pestalozzi in any manner transpired. Others have annexed questions to their books, and claimed kindred merit; but, by an unhappy misconcep tion of the principle, their questions accord in arrangement exactly with the order of the data to which they refer, and therefore afford no• exercise to the intellectual faculties. Others, again, have so far mistaken the term 4 ' Interrogative System," as to obtrude on the public, under its sanction, a series of books on the obsolete plan of question and answer. While others ha►e basely imitated both'the inventor's plan and his books, and have produced various superficial, vulgar, and inadequate compilations, whose only recommendations have been their close imitation of his Title-pages, Types, Ornaments, and Bindings. As a means of protecting the Public against all such arti fices, and of supporting the reputation of his series of Books, he has therefore judged it expedient to subjoin a Complete List of these Original Works:— I.

[PRICE SEVENPENCE: PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. We find that the sentiments which we have ex pressed respecting the removal of the Al'ied troops . from France, are supported by the opinions of several intelligent and judicious Provincial Jour• nalists. Among others, the Editor of The Cork ddvertizier of the 20th inst., adverting to the de• termination of the Sovereigns, expresses hicnseif in the following terms : " We hope the decision will not he productive of injurious consequences, and that the sacrifice of common prudence to the gratification of French feelings will he received by that nation as it ought; but we confess our fears of the reverse are much stronger. One of our principal objections to the measure, was always that which seems to have recommended the adoption of it to others who have reflected on the sub.' ject. It was right, they say, to remove a source of irritation from the people of France, the natural effect of which will be to attach them to the present order of things. We think . it was wrong not to continue, as long as the Treaty of Paris would admit, a wholesome restraint on their disposition to disturb the peace of their neighbours, and this iidepem. dently of the danger to France itself from their political dis sentions.—The French arc an arrogant, ambitious, vain glorious people, and it would tend to abate their prnir, and to impress them with some degree of moderation in - .heir pretentious, were they habituated to foreivi coutroul. cr y year, the disciples of the Buonapartian school are pAssing• away, and their places wilt be F upplied by others wl),,t! na tional propensities might be disciplined and corrected by the continued evidence of their humiliation." We subjoin the following article taken from the same Pryer, as it relates to an Election which excited no slight notice, and may amuse many of our Irish Readers : " COUNTY ELECTION CASE AND OPINIONS. " In the course of the last week, the case and opinions of Counsel on the subject of our late County Election were fully published in a contemporary Print, for the purpose, as is stated in a prefaratory paragraph, ' of shewing, that nothing had been kept back open which it was of value that advice should be had, and that every circumstance against, as well as for the Petitions, was' fairly and ingenuously set forth.' We doubt much whether the purpose of our contemporary has been answered by the publication. We doubt if nothing has been kept back upon which it was of value that advice should he had,' inasmuch as the case is utterly silent as to the foundation of the opinion upon which the High Sheriff acted—we mean the statutes pecu liar to Ireland, requiring Sheriffs to appoint Baronial nmoths, ' on getting previous notice Crum the Candidates. We doubt if it was quite fair or ingenuous, not to refer the Learned English Counsel to these Laws, which do not ferm a part of the British Election Code;—and we are the more inclined to doubt when we find one of the Gentlemen stating as his rear sen for thinking no notice to the Sheriff necessary, that '%lie was not aware of any statutc to that effect.' We also doubt • as to the propriety of publishing the opinions of Counsel in • Newspapers, particularly those opinions ' given in the coun try,' where the Juris-consult has no opportunity of ' refer ring to the statutes', unless indeed be be informed when consulted, that he is to appear in flint. We doubt, if such intimation had been given to Mr. Scarlet, whether be would have written his 6rstonswer in so careless a style as to trans gress the primary Syntactic rules. of his native language. ' If he had the necessary qualification before he took his seat, by not baring it at the time of the Election, no objection. being made on that account, would not affect his right to be elected.' We doubt if Priscian himself could tell us what is governed by, by not having,' &c. or could point out a nominative case to the verb, would not affect,' &c. We doubt if it was fairer ingenuous to the unsuccessful candidate, to introduce into the case the very humorous pretension ' that he most certainly would have got a sufficient qualifr cation before the return of the writ, at all events before he took his seat,' that is to say, 6001. per annum freehold estate (risum te►►eutis!) We doubt if his independent supporters, who arc so anxious to seat hire in St. Stvphen's, do not un derstand pecuniary matters better tha❑ to sport 6001. per annum, for having hint a County Member, when they could purchase a Borough for him for about 35u01.: but we beg pardon of their honours, for supposing that they would con descend to deal in the Buruuehmun►;ering Market. We doubt the fairness to him at least of introducing his unim peachable integrity—which the Patriots say is not a necessary qualification fur a Member of Parliament in these degenerate times—for we fear that if inquiry were set on foot, and cer tain records in our Crown-ollice of conviction for Libel, as saulting a Sheriff, &c. examilied, many plain ignorant people would doubt whether Horace would style him integer vitae,' &c. We further doubt if it was fair, ingenuous, or necessary, to introduce into the statement, that a highly re spectable Gentleman, one of the petitioners, was at the time of the Election ' iu confinement for debt to a large amount,' when it was well known that he was then, as be always has been, free from any personal restraint, and both able and willing to pay his debts, if he owed any, of which we have also our doubts. Indeed, as to thiS unlucky erratum, which the printers followed up, by printing it twice, we have ano ther doubt, and that is, whether the Gentleman substituted in a contemporary print of last Saturday night was a peti tioner. Lastly, on the subject of this memorable Election and its curious consequences, we doubt, most doubtingly, the sincerity of a sort of offer of gratuitous services to any inde pendent Gentleman who may be induced to be a Ounlidate at a new Election, as set forth in an advertisement calling a meeting of Agents, Attornies, Clerks, et hoc genus mine,' at Scragg's Tavern. "On — some points, however, we hare no doubt.—We agree with our Contemporary, that there was gross mockery' at the Election ; but the mystifiers were those highly respect able Electors, who sought to ridicule a serious function of our Constitution, by proposing a Candidate merely for fun. We have uo doubt, that every Freeholder of this great Coun ty, who regards its peace, its representation, and its charac ter, will indignantly refuse to lend himself to a set of tura composed of discontented or self-interested agitators, to aid them in disturbing a return, which may perhaps be nut for mally legal, but which would certainly be the result of a New Election. The Yard• well know that-they cannot find a man of property so fatuous, as to waste his money in a hopeless contested Election, even though the Meeting at Scragg's give him ' their sweet and aubought voices.' " NATIONAL SCHOOLS.—Yesterdays was the day appointed for the public examination of 1000 children, educated in the principles of the Esta blished Church, in Whitechapel. All the consta bles and parish beadles were drawn out as early as 12 o'clock, at the School-house, in Whitechas pel-road ; they were dressed in their best liveries, and formed a line from the School-house, keeping clear a passage from the dour to the road. A great crowd collected, principally the parents and relatives of the children ; and, about half-past one o'clock, the Lord Bishop of LONDON, at tended by several other Patrons, arrived in their carriages, and were ushered into tbe. School room by the Committee. The Secretary dim read the report, and the boys were examined in the usual form ; after which the friends and pro moters of the School repaired to the London 'fa rem, where they dined.
